Creates a directory db/backup in the rails app and creates / loads YML files from there. After a backup, the db/backups directory is archived into a .tgz file and then deleted. When restoring, the db/backup directory is extracted from the .tgz file. All of the files in the 'files' directory are also backed up / restored. The default archive file is "site-backup.tgz" but any other one can be passed as an argument to both db:backup:write and db:backup:read, for example: app1$ rake db:backup:write app1$ cd ../app2 app2$ rake db:backup:read[../app1/site-backup.tgz] The environment variable 'verbose' or 'VERBOSE' if defined will result in some verbose output. \ To add the rake tasks to your Rails app, simply install the gem, and then add the following line to your 'Rakefile': require 'rails-backup-migrate' \
